DUBLIN, Sept. IL. = Michael Davitt
spoke at a meeting in Dublin to-day.
He declared that he would adopt every
word and meaning of Mr.. Obrien's
speech at Mitchelstown. Irishmen
would deserve the contempt of the world
if they allowed themselves to be hunted
from their cabins like beasts. He COM
planned bitterly against the constabulary
for staying their own kith and kin in
cold blood, even without word of COM
mand from their officers. If the slumb,

were faced as in 1881, he hoped they
would not be, the blame for any evil
wrought upon Ireland would fall upon
the instigators of the Mitchelstown mas

SOME one styling himself "Old Sol
der" writes to the local Democratic
paper presumably to criticize the re-
marks of Capt. w. W. Braden in regard
to the G. A. R which were quoted in
these columns recently. The "Old Sold
ier's" intentional criticism is in fact an
admission that Capt. Braden's position is
right. The only point the writer seems
to make is that the President follows
the most dignified course in refusing to
reply to the criticisms and attacks the
Grand Army men. We would ask "Old
Soldier" if it ever occurred to him that
the reason Mr.. Cleveland preserved
such dignified silence is that he can
find no good reply to make?

IT is estimated that California and

IT is estimated that California and
Florida will each produce one million
boxes of oranges this year, and that the
product of Louisiana and other Southern
States will bring the total yield up to
about three million boxes. The con.
sumption of oranges in this country last
year was only about fifty per cent. more
than the estimated product of the year
1887. From the trees now growing in
California and Florida and not vet old
enough to bear, it is estimated that in
about five years the orange crop of the
United States will be increased to ten
million boxes, or double the amount
now consumed. Lovers of this delicious
fruit are therefore anxiously looking for
ward to the time when it will be as cheap
and abundant as the apple.
